Stan Kroenke scraped together all the coins in his couch cushion to buy the Angels for $4B+.

This is clearly the result of Angel fans at recent home games waiving their shirts urging Arte Moreno to sell the team, my which happened today.

Should the lads take a victory lap?!?!

I’ve always believed sex work is work, but if those looking to exit the world’s oldest profession need a little assistance with the transition then I’m all for it.

LA People. 818 People. BBQ People.

My pal Stan has a popup BBQ tonight 6-10pm outside a watering hole in Sherman Oaks:

Pineapple Hill Saloon
4454 Van Nuys Blvd
Sherman Oaks, CA 91403

C'mon down! I'll be there earlier in the 6-10pm window.

Flyer below.

Cheers....JD

I was quoted in this story about soccer fans in LA cheering for other countries now that Mexico Canada USA are out of the tournament.

Max Muncy is batting 7th and playing third base tonight for the Dodgers AND the Athletics.

Still not wacky enough? Both men were born on August 25th.

But here’s some differentiation, their birth years:

Max (Dodgers) in 1990.
Max (A’s) in 2002.

Happy Baseball To All.

Behold, the Wayback Machine has produced another gem! This Jack Flaherty prep profile from 2013 miraculously jumped into my computer!

He won a HS title at Dodger Stadium in 2012, and a World Series as a Dodger in 2024.

Enjoy...JD

Hot off the digital press, the remarkable story of Jamie Comeau. He is a 4th-gen dirt track racer from a family that lives and breathes racing.
He has Muscular Dystrophy but that doesn't slow him down in the race car.

A tad presumptuous in March, but I like this guy’s ambition.

No proper celebration of Gene Shalit’s 100th birthday may commence until Willard Scott is exhumed to emcee the festooneries!

One of the most meaningful stories I've done in my career. Give it up for Skid Row Running Club and its founder, Judge Craig Mitchell.

Not a political post:

Q: What’s tougher for our Canadian friends?

Dodgers edging the Blue Jays in our national pastime last year. 5-4 in 11 in G7.

Or…

The USA men and women nipping Canada in their national pastime for Olympic Gold, both 2-1 in OT.

I invite your thoughts.

For the third straight year, among the Long Island U. Sharks honored by the water polo coaches association for academic distinction is a senior from Sherman Oaks, CA named Charlie Downey.

Way to go Charlito!

So when patronizing Total Wine & More in Northridge, one might be persuaded to acquire a bottle of Tequila Providencia. Especially if the BOGO includes a signature and a photo with a Mr. Markus Lynn Betts of Nashville, TN.

Nickname: Mookie.

How was your day?
